Game Idea

Find a selection of objects in your house. Place them on a table and hide them under a tea towel.
Get a family member to reach under and feel one of the objects without looking at it. Can they guess what it is? Were they right? Would they be more confident if they could see the object themselves?
Now get them to select some items for you to guess.
Craft Idea

Prayer
My Lord and God, Thank You for raising Jesus from death to life. Thank You that Jesus loved his friends so much He showed them the proof of the miracle. Help us to stop doubting and believe, just as Thomas did.
Amen
